should christians be involved in politics??

Question

an essay

Answer 1

Not if they are going to govern by what the bible says instead of what the constitution says.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is obviously yes since to say no would mean that only non-Christians should, which is absurd in a country were the vast majority are Christians. I do have misgivings about churches behaving like a political interest group seeking support, subsidies, and favors for their brand of Christianity from the government. In the long run it will probably do more damage to the churches and religion than to the government. Before the outbreak of political activism by churches no one would have even thought to ask the question. It was just assumed that politician's moral values guided their behavior.

Answer 3

Anna loves the spot life,

Go jump in a lake. Our Constitution in it's rules, not the Pre-amble, clearly states that there will be a separation of Church and State. That means everyone's religion, Muslim, Buddhist, Catholics and Jewish as well

As far as being a christian and being involved in politics, it is not only a right it is a duty, as a christian and as an American.

You have a right to practice your religion as long as it doesn't interfere with the working of the Government. Please read the entire constitution before you spout off, but by no means keep from being involved.

Just because we don't agree on that subject or you haven't read the entire Constitution doesn't mean you cant be involved or participate in your country as well.

Answer 4

Yes they do and are. Especially since nobody wants to protect their Free Speech and Expression of religion. That's the 1st Amendment and they should not be penalized for their beliefs. Those are the Pillars of Freedom! If Free Speech within Reason is abolished, what would be next on the agenda? Is this turning into The Old Roman Empire?

Answer 5

Religion and politics should never mix. The manifestations of politics are for the physical world. For religion - the metaphysical realm. Politics is power, control, territory, bondage, etc. Religion is for the heart, the spirit, and the soul. When religion and politics mix, the outcome is to overpower the heart, to control the spirit, to bind the soul. This is real evil. Take a look around.

Answer 6

Sure, along with any persons of any other religion, because in a democracy, everyone should be involved in the political process. However, if you are asking if Christianity and its beliefs and values should be involved in politics, especially in legislation, my answer is a resounding NO! Because Christian beliefs are by their nature exclusionary, and not entirely based on logic, reason, or science, thus they should never influence the laws or governing of the United States, a country founded by its forefathers deliberately to escape religious reign.

More expressly, politics and governing in general should be handled more with a bend toward common sense, reason and logic than faith and belief, mainly because logic is much easier to prove and agree upon that faith and belief. Historically reason tends to prevent and stop war and bloodshed, while religious belief is responsible for a majority of the bloodiest conflicts in known history. Also please keep in mind that morality and ethics are neither exclusive to, nor invented/created/revealed by religion. All existed prior to at least Christianity, and were created by man, as proved by science.

Answer 7

yes all citizens regardless of religion have a right to speak their mind on matters of politics in this country
check out the first amendment to the constitution (assuming you are in the United States)

Answer 8

All of politics will be influenced by someones agenda, the question is, who's.

Answer 9

Why shouldn't they? If 51% of Americans voted for a Christian theocracy, for example, that's democracy. Muslims can always invade through illegal immigration and change that. The current FOOLS think a secular theocracy is somehow superior.

Answer 10

as we in the great britain says;

all tom dick and harry including hillary of voting age should exercise their constitution rights to get involved.

now then pass me the salt and pepper harry..........
